Peach Trees in Rlossom Peach

Peach Trees in Blossom. Peach trees
are beginning to bloom and few days of
warm weather will render the orchards a
beautiful pink. 1t is said By growers that
the trees are unusually full Of buds None of
the buds were killed by the cold of the past
winter, and now there is a bloom for every
inch Of wood. In many orchards, # one
tenth Of the buds now alive mature as fruit,
the crop will be very heavy Never before in
the history Of the peach did the middle of
April promise such tremendous yield No
where on the Peninsula or in New Jersey
have the buds been injured in the least and
growers are now beginning TO fear, not that
they will have too few, but SO many as to
prove improbable. However frost may yet
wipe out the buds in some sections and thus
give others better chance Growers are
hoPiug so, but each one wishes his own pre-
served and some other destroyed .-Cenuevle

Inspect Your Trecs.-At this season OF
the year an inspection of your fruit and shade
trees, notably the maple will show that they
are covered with the cocoon of the bag worm,
a species Of caterpillar. The coeoons resem-
bic dead leaves and are therefore liable to de-
celve those not much acquainted with the
habits Of this insect. They make their bag on
cocoon of twigs and leaves In a few days
the trees will commence budding, and then it
will be difficult to Get rid of the worm. If
each householder would carefully 60 over his
trees with sponge fastened to pole, first
having dipped it in coal oil and then firing
the same, thousands OF these pests could be
destroyed. This work must be done imme
diately or the branches Of the trees will be in
jured, as it is almost time for the buds to

ways had a kind word for every one, he was
beloved by all who knew him. And those
who knew him best loved him most. The
deceased has been teacher of the public
school for the passed years, in the 4th dis

lis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart,
Tis hard, so hard to speak the word
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must liy thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
TIL we see thy heavenly face.

The Czar's Ambition. New York Tribune,

According to the Vienna Tdgbldtt, the Czar's highest aim is to be crowned Emperor of Asia" on the site of the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem. The Crimean war had its origin in the quarrels over the holy places in Pales- tine, and was a continuation of the conflict between east and west which the crusades left still unsettled. Every step of the Russians towards Constan- tinople is thus step toward Jerusa- lem. It is of great significance that the Emperor Alexander III confides much more upon the power of relig- ious enthusiasm than either of his pre- decessors did. He wishes to procure a more official and ostentatious conse- cration of his religious authority, and to have his position emphasized as the supreme protector of the eastern churches and the orthodox Faith, and so rally all the Greek Oriental churches and peoples around the per- son and office of the czar as the Con- stantine and Justinian of the modern world. This bold project has been long in preparation, is never lost sight of in any diplomatic movement, and no sacrifice of money is thought too great to secure this end. Numbers of settlements of eastern monks, of ap- parently harmless and unpretending character, have been and are being founded, and Russia finds the money for the purchase of the land.

CONFLICT.

Flushes of dawn that wither into gray; Hints of sun rise that fade to moon rise pale i; Beginnings of bright song that die away; Blight of half opened blossoms, slim and
 frail;
 Looks of wild longing, sad, impassoned,
 dumb;
 Strength of endeayor foiled by callous Fate Sore shrinking from the empty years to come. Then the dark vigil grim and desolate. "Ah! for one draught from Joys delicious cup One dance with Pleasure, wreathed with flower and wine; An! for feast where Love and might sup, And pledge each other in Youths golden
 wine
 Inner revOlting full of fiery pain;
 Dull stretch of duty done in bitter stress; The footsore journey o'er the weary plain; And the long fasting in the wilderness. Then the strong drink of victory over self; The deepest glow of Faiths rekindled fire The crisis past; the slow return to health; The birth of hopes; the death of low desire. And at the last to lie as on breast Rocking to slumber till the signing cease; Then the still voice of death shall murmur
 "Rest;"
 But some one just beyond shall answer
 "Peace." -- -IndependeHt

 paper, opened it, and recognized Ju- lies handwriting-a trembling scrawl, written in pencil. She read: "Come by yourself, and kiss me, my poor friend; l am going to die."
 At first she did not understand, and stood there stupefied-being especially shocked by the idea of death. Then, suddenly, the familiar tone of the let ter caught her attention, and as in one great lightning flash, Illuminating her whole life, she saw all the infamous truth, all their perfidy. She under stood their long deceit, their looks, their silent mockery of her good faith. their betrayal of her confidence. She saw them again, each in front of the other at evenings, under the shade of her own lamp, reading the same book, consulting each other with their eyes at the end of each page.
 And her heart swollen with indig- nation, bruised with suffering, sank in limitless despair.
 Footsteps approached: she fled, and locked herself up in her own room.
 A little while after, her husband called her:
 "Come quick! Madame Rosset is dyingw
 Berthe appeared at her door, and said, with white and trembling lips: "Go back alone to her! She has no need of me!''
 He stared at her wildly, half crazed by grief, and repeated:
 "Quick! quick !-she is dying !"
 Berthe replied:
 "4ou would be better pleased if it were me-"
 Then, perhaps, he understood, and went back alone to the chamber of the dying woman.
 He wept for her without dissimu- lation, without shame-indifferen to the grief of his wife, who no longer spoke to him or looked at him, and lived alone with her disgust for him, in dumb anger, praying morning and might to God.
 Nevertheless, they still lived to- gether, ate together at the same table in silence and despair.
 Gradually his grief calmed down, but she did not forgive him.
 And so life went on-terribly un- happy for both of them.
 For one year they remained as com- pletely strangers to each other as if they had never met. Berthe went al- most mad.
 Then one morning she left the house at dawn, and returned about o'clock, carrying in both hands an enormous bouquet of roses,-white roses,-all white.
 And she sent word to her husband that the desired to speak to him.
 He came, feeling anxious, uneasy.
 "We are going out together. Please carry these flowers; they are too heavy for me-"
 He took the bouquet and followed his wife.
 A carriage was waiting for them; it started immediately after they had taken their seats.
 She stopped at the gate of the cem- etery. Then Berthe, whose eyes filled with tears, said to Georges: "Take me to her tomb." He trembled without knowing why, and walked on before her, still carrying the flowers in his arms. Finally he stopped before a white marble, and designated it with out saying anything.
 Then she took the great bouquet from him, and, kneeling down, laid it at the foot of the grave. Then she prayed for little prayed suppliantly and silently!
 Standing behind her, her husband, haunted by memories, was weeping.
 She rose up, and held out her hands to him.
